It's too late.

That's not true. I'll cure your disease.

I'll cure your disease.

Go and find Doji.

Have you thought about the marriage?

Just give me a couple of days.

I'll obey you.

Episode 29

I'm going to the charcoal burner's shed

and ask for the wood vinegar generated from the gas.

And I'm going to the sandy beach in the south

to get loquat and New Zealand spinach.

You grub the root of Panax notoginsengs.

Okay, don't worry about us.

Then in ten days,

let's meet at the herb hut in Byuksoryung.

- Okay, let's go. - Okay.

I found it! I found it!

I found it!

I found it!

I found it!

What...

Dr. Hur, was that you who yelled "I found it!"?

It was definitely him.

Look at this.

I've seen some mountain ginseng since I started to grub.

But I've never seen this big one before.

It'll be worth more than 40 dollars.

Your heart, worrying about our master, has reached the heavens.

Mountain ginseng is good for the gastric cancer?

It's a miraculous medicine. It'll be effective.

Yes, there's no medicine more miraculous than this.

They'll buy even a one-dollar mountain ginseng at any price.

It's worth two dollars. It'll be very expensive.

Don't talk like that.

This is such a miraculous find that we can't sell or buy.

I want to go back down the mountain. But it's too late in the day.

Let's stay in the herb hut tonight and leave at the dawn.

Okay, okay.

Dr. Hur.

Dr. Hur, wake up.

You had bloodshot eyes like you haven't slept for many days.

It's dawn. Let's go.

Okay.

By the way, where is Youngdal?

He usually wakes wake up late.

Why did he wake up early?

What's the matter?

The mountain ginseng's gone. The mountain ginseng's gone.

What?

That...

Son of...

He's a demon in human shape.

I should've noticed that when he asked about mountain ginseng.

What're you gonna do?

He makes frequent visit to Mt. Jiri.

If he decided to run away, it will be hard to find him.

Wait! Listen!

It's a groaning sound.

Definitely! It's a man.

What? That guy's...

You villain!

Dr. Hur, stop!

You're killing him!

Don't stop me! I'm going to kill him!

Forgive me. Please, forgive me. Forgive me.

Forgive you? You're a beast!

How can you steal our master's life?

Where's the ginseng? Where's the ginseng?

Answer him. Where's the ginseng?

- Robbed. - What?

By whom?

Herb grubbers. They were four or five.

Herb grubbers? Do we know them?

They were strangers.

Forgive me. Please, forgive me.

Dr. Hur!

Don't kill me! Forgive me!

I was going back to the hut.

Greediness blinded me to steal the ginseng, but

I felt guilty. So I changed my mind and

was going back to the hut. Believe me.

Stop telling false excuses!

How can we believe it? Heaven will punish you!

It's true. Believe me.

I'm a villain.

Villain.

Go.

Leave here and never return to Sanum.

If I see you again,

I'll kill you.

Let's go.

Dr. Hur, it seems my bone's broken.

I can't move.

If you leave me like this, I'll be killed by wild animals.

Dr. Hur, save me, please.

Let's go.

Dr. Hur! Kuckswe!

Save me!

Please, save me, Dr. Hur!

Yuwol...

How beautiful they are.

Even paying a premium, our mistress couldn't

buy such beautiful silks, in Sanum.

You don't have to tell me!

Yuwol, look at that.

Look at this. It's so pretty.

- Hadong, there! - What?

There's someone who looks like Yejin.

Yejin? Where? I can't see.

Yejin can't be here. You mistook someone else for her.

- She looked like Yejin. - Can't be.

Is that true?

Are you sure she really was Yejin?

At a glance, I thought she really looked like Yejin.

She must've mistaken someone else for Yejin.

She's really busy taking care of the patients.

How could she wander the streets of Seoul,

without even visiting us?

No, why can't she come here?

She can come.

She only knows we live around Honginmoon.

Anyway, can you guess what brought her here?

She must've wanted to meet you and Doji.

Maybe she's wandering because she doesn't know where we live.

- Want me to find her? - Keep quiet!

She must've wanted to meet Doji.

- Hadong, mark my word. - Yes, ma'am.

Doji shouldn't know

that she's here. So watch your mouth.

And you!

If he knows about it like last time . . .

- I'll punish you! - Yes, ma'am.

Leave me now and let Hansang in.

Yes, ma'am.

Sly girl.

She's going to block Doji's path even to the very end.

- Ma'am, it's Hansang. - Come in.

Yejin's in Seoul.

What...

Doji's just about to marry.

If he knows this, he'll break off the engagement.

No matter what, until the wedding day,

she's cannot see him.

You search the taverns in all the streets

and find out where she is.

Yes, ma'am.

Don't let her be aware that we're looking for her.

Your Majesty, the prince's doctor is here.

Let him in.

Have a seat.

Yes, Your Majesty.

They said you've been working hard,

to take care of the prince.

I'm just doing what I have to do.

Thank you for your appreciation.

You healed the prince's serious disease the other day.

I want to praise your efforts.

Your Majesty...

Continue to take care of him, as he grows up

to be a healthy man.

I'll try my best.

What can I do for you?

- Are you going to lodge? - Yes, do you have a room?

Of course.

Did you have dinner yet?

Yes.

Is this really what

the Queen gave to you?

Yes.

Paper, brush, ink stick and water container are common things,

but it's a royal gift.

It means that she values you.

How inscrutable the grace of the Queen is.

How great!

After the marriage, you'll be the richest

and the most powerful man among the middle class people.

Your future's so bright.

You'll have a wife and you'll be a royal doctor.

By the way, you look bad.

You're going to marry tomorrow. Aren't you happy?

I'm happy.

If you're thinking about somebody else, stop it now.

Ma'am, it's Hansang.

- Go and take a rest. - Yes.

- Come in. - Yes.

Well?

She's staying in the tavern on one of the streets.

She told the hostess she was looking for

a doctor from Sanum.

I see.

Whatever it takes,

keep her away from him.

Find a way to keep her away

until the wedding's over.

I leave this entirely to you.

So take perfect care of it.

My heart is yours,

How can I love another woman?

Can you come out?

What's the matter?

We found out about the doctor you asked about.

Really?

Pack your belongings and follow him.

That woman.

Make sure not to hurt her. Don't make any mistake.

Okay.

Who are you?

Hey, where are you going? Hey!

What're you blocking me for?

Move out of my way!

Help me!

Release her!

None of your business. Mind your own business.

- Bring her. - Yes.

Lady... Lady, wake up.

Lady!

Stay calm.

No.

Where am I?

What? Who is he?

I'm afraid I don't know.

He's dressed like a nobleman.

How pathetic you are!

How could you not be able to handle that kind of business?

I'm sorry. It was sudden and unexpected.

What do we do? We don't even know who he is.

In case she makes a visit to us,

make sure to keep her away from him.

Yes.

Although I'm a complete stranger, you helped me.

How can I thank you?

I just did what I had to do.

Anyway, are you looking for a doctor of the royal hospital?

Yes.

It's a long way for a woman.

You must have some story.

I'll find him for you.

I work in the palace.

It's not that difficult for me to find him.

Don't be so anxious. Just take care of yourself.

- Let's take a break. - Yes.

Are you still thinking about the mountain ginseng?

He's not a man.

He's a demon in human shape.

Are you just coming back?

Yes, priest.

You are...

How have you been, doctor?

Sanum hospital seems to run short of hands.

So I'm taking Sanghwa.

The care has been effective.

The symptoms of the disease disappeared.

He doesn't have to turn his back on the world.

You take care of him from now on.

His medical knowledge ... Learning by listening is still helpful.

Yes.

Did you get the medicines?

Loquat, the root of Panax notoginsengs and wood vinegar.

I was looking for Ahn Gwangik.

I told you it was too late, but

I can't let him go like that.

I feel the same way you do.

He was crazy about dissections.

And he's done all types of unusual things.

So, he may well know the way to cure the gastric cancer.

When is he going to come?

I left a message. He'll be here soon.

Dr. Hur, it's an emergency.

His illness's critical. He's losing consciousness.

Master!

Weetae!

Since when has he been like this?

While I was decocting last night, I checked him.

He's been unconscious since then.

Burn moxa or perform acupuncture on the bellybutton

to wake him up.

Gyukgoo/ A kind of burning moxa

I'll perform acupuncture

on GV-20, the philtrum, Ll-4 and LR-3.

If that doesn't work, I'll do it on Ki-1.

Okay, do that.

Master, please, please, wake up,

You can't go like this,

Master.

Weetae.

Are you conscious?

What happened?

You've been unconscious for two nights.

Joon's acupuncture and decoction helped you regain your sense.

Master.

Joon.

How's master?

He's regained conscious.

Really? You did a great job.

I'm going to have some sleep.

Of course, I couldn't sleep, either, worrying about him.

You don't look so well.

Go and take a rest. I don't want you to get sick.

Where's Yejin?

She's not here. Didn't you know?

While you went to the mountain to forage for the medicines,

she left for Seoul.

What for?

They said she was gonna marry Doji.

Oh...

She handed me a letter.

Even if master's sick in the bed,

she may have thought marriage was more important.

She acted quickly.

This is a letter for you.

And there was some kind of needle case.

She asked me to keep this. Whenever I walk,

it jingles in my pocket.

Please, forgive me

for writing to you, instead of bidding farewell.

Dr, Hur, I'm leaving the care of our master in your hands.

I have been happy because I was with someone I respected.

That was the happiest time of my life.

The memories of you, the priceless memories ...

I won't ever forget them.

I'll keep them in my mind through all eternity.

These are my father's acupuncture needles.

When he was alive, he traveled the world

with this needle case, caring for patients.

I want you to be a real doctor like him.

Take my father's heart and use it.

I can't. This is a memory of your father.

I can use my needle case from the medicine warehouse.

I've never seen that needle case.

Yejin gave it to me when she left.

Left? Where?

She left for Seoul.

Lady, are you in?

Yes.

I found out where the doctor lives.

Really?

I told my servant outside.

Follow him.

Thank you.

I don't know your story,

but I'm really happy you can meet the doctor.

Thank you.

There, that house.

Well, I have to return now.

Yes, thank you.

Ma'am, he's coming. Young master's coming.

Yes.

I know it's very tiring. Let's go in.

Although he's foolhardy,

he's been thinking of you as someone special since childhood.

He truly loves you.

You can lean on him all your life.

This is my last wish.

Please, do not reject it.

Dr. Yoo.

- Yes. - Do you know Lee Jungmyung?

The vice director of personnel department.

I've never heard of him.

Go and meet him. He's waiting for you.

Sir, this is Dr. Yoo.

My name is Yoo Doji.

Don't be nervous.

I'm Lee Jungmyung.

Why you wanted to meet me.

Did you meet Yejin?

I beg your pardon?

Hansang! Is Hansang there?

What's the matter?

Yejin's here in Seoul. Did you know?

Do you know, or don't you?

I don't know what you are talking about.

- Don't you know? - No.

Doji, what's the matter?

Mother, Yejin's here in Seoul.

Didn't you know?

What're you talking about? She has no reason to come here.

I haven't heard about that.

Doji, Doji!

Who is Yejin? Why does he behave like that?

It's nothing important. Ignore it.

Hostess, hostess!

I'm looking for a pretty lady named Yejin.

Didn't she stay here last night?

Are you sure?

I'm sure. Just go.

What brings you here?

Ma'am, is Joon here?

He's in the room. Joon!

- What's up? - Joon.

Is it true that Dr. Yoo's going to die?

- What was that? - Gastric cancer.

Right, gastric cancer. It's incurable, right?

What do you want to say?

I heard you were very worried about him.

So we're here to tell you the way to save him.

There is a good shaman in Hanchun County.

Call for the shaman to do an exorcism

and the disease will be healed. Talk to him, honey.

She's really good.

My husband almost died of murrain.

But it was cured because he carried her amulet.

This one.

It was just coldness, not murrain.

Coldness is curable.

Many people died in Doosi village. Do you know why?

They looked for the shaman instead of a doctor,

from the very beginning.

They believed in the amulet and they died.

Are you asking me, a doctor, to go to the shaman

to cure the disease?

Just another way to... What did I say?

Cut the useless words and go back to where you were.

He's so mean.

We thought it'd be helpful.

Why is he so angry?

He didn't mean it. He's just worrying about Dr. Yoo.

- Don't take it seriously. - We feel bad.

Let's go.

Sanghwa.

- Suyeon. - Sanghwa.

What're you doing here?

I want to live with you.

Let me be with you, in this hospital.

Suyeon.

Go back.

Sanghwa.

Go!

Go now!

What?

You!

Come here.

Kneel down.

Who was the young girl?

Don't you think you're too young to be with a girl?

If you want to learn the medical arts,

do as the doctors say, no matter what it takes.

Don't waste your time, fooling around with a girl.

Just concentrate on your studies.

So that you can know about the effects of medicines.

I know the effects of medicines.

Do you? Great.

Okay.

- Raw foxglove? - It's for extravasated blood.

- Cnidium officinale? - Headache.

- Gentiana scabra var. Buergeri? - Eye disease.

- The root of an arrowroot? - Dipsosis and thirst.

Sophora flavescens?

It's good for tumor on the skin.

You're right.

But a real doctor's way is

to pity the pain of the patient and cure the disease.

Knowledge about the medicines is a superficial thing.

I didn't want answers like that.

I know all about that, too!

You still have a long way to go.

- You're dismissed. - Yes.

Man, he's much scarier than Joon.

If he's better than me ...

Then, what should I do? I'm so worried.

Hello!

I've heard much about you, from Samjuk.

He must've described me as a butcher kind of guy.

Aren't you?

A fake priest cannot call me a butcher.

First of all, let's have some drink.

You can't drink.

It won't be healed even if I stop drinking.

Don't you think?

But...

He didn't say you're a butcher.

He said you're quite good at anatomy.

Boosool/ Dissection

Have you ever dissected a human body?

I wish. I've never dissected a human body.

All I've seen are the internals of animals.

But the internals of animals are different

from those of humans.

Right, I've dissected a number of animals.

I only guess about the internals human body, based on that knowledge.

What I want to do is

to gain the opportunity to dissect the dead body of a human.

But that is forbidden by the law, too.

Even if you had the opportunity,

it would be difficult

to assess the internal body of the a live human being.

And, the internal organs would have shrunk

and the blood circulation stopped, by the finish of the funeral rites.

Why are you talking about dissection?

Every doctor wants

to look into the body of a living man.

I do, too.

Doctors have to deal with many diseases.

But our knowledge of the internal body can't go further

because of the limited knowledge that is written in the book.

But how can we dissect a human body?

Nobody wants to have his or her body dissected.

That is impossible.

But if it is something necessary,

then, somebody should do it.

Are you leaving? What do you mean?

I'm going to the grave site of my father and grandfather.

If something happens to me ...

Send this to the document manager and herb grubbers.

This is the formula to make the Dr. Yoo's medicinal plaster.

They're familiar with the herbs.

If they make it as instructed, they can make a living.

You...

Don't think about it.

I'll go with Sanghwa. Don't worry too much.

You're a patient. Did you forget?

I've never been persuaded by you.

I was too stubborn all my life.

If someone's not good enough, I never get acquainted with him.

Sometimes I think Doji became that way because of my nature.

How could he like me?

Do you regret it?

I used to drive away anyone who was not good enough.

I should've hugged them.

- Sanghwa. - Yes.

Take good care of him.

Yes, see you later.

Put down the backpack.

Go down to Sanum to tell Joon and Samjuk

to come here at noon, on the seventh day of next month.

But Dr. Hur asked me to take good care of you.

Go back.
